Agendas for Archaeobotany in the 21st Century: data, dissemination and new directions

Internet Archaeology, 2019
Archaeobotany, here taken as the study of archaeological plant macrofossil remains, is a mature and widely practised area of study within archaeology. However, plants are rarely seen as active participants in past societies.

Domestication as innovation : the entanglement of techniques, technology and chance in the domestication of cereal crops [PDF]

, 2010
The origins of agriculture involved pathways of domestication in which human behaviours and plant genetic adaptations were entangled. These changes resulted in consequences that were unintended at the start of the process.

Identification and environmental background of Chara remains in the Holocene sequence of Lake Peţea (NW Romania) and the possibilities of using the results in archaeobotany

Archeometriai Műhely, 2023
The charophyte remains play an important role in the reconstruction of the hydrological characteristics (pH, water depth, stream flow, carbonate content, isotope geochemistry-water chemistry and temperature) of the former lake habitats.

Assessing Pleistocene–Holocene climatic and environmental change in insular Near Oceania using stable isotope analysis of archaeological fauna

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 38, Issue 8, Page 1267-1278, November 2023., 2023
ABSTRACT In comparison to temperate and arid regions, environmental responses to the Last Glacial Maximum and the Terminal Pleistocene and Holocene boundary remain poorly known for many parts of the tropics, making it challenging to unravel human–landscape interactions across this timeframe.

The use of underground storage organs in the Early Neolithic (Linearbandkeramik and Blicquy/Villeneuve-Saint-Germain) in the Paris Basin: the contribution of starch grain analyses

Revue d'ethnoécologie, 2023
Underground storage organs are poorly preserved in the archaeological record, and as a result their contribution to the diet of ancient societies is poorly understood.
